Many
people working in farming will tell you that good news hasn’t exactly been in
plentiful supply over recent years.
However,
it’s possible that things are turning a corner because we have recently seen a
spate of encouraging announcements.
They
largely relate to the opening up of various markets that have typically been
closed or at best difficult to access for the Australian agricultural
community.
One of
the recent ones that we have referred to before was the signing of various
agreements with China. Even more
recently, the
Lebanese market has also been seemingly
‘cracked’ with the anticipation of potential significant export opportunities
for sheep and cattle.
While
this is all good news, there’s no doubt that there will be continued pressure
on the Australian farmer to run a pretty tight and lean ship in order to
compete with international prices. As countries are opening up their trade borders
a little and international trade liberalises, you can be sure that farmers in
places like Europe and South America will be looking with eager anticipation for
opportunities to cash in.
They
certainly won’t be leaving the field clear for us Aussies to make all the
running.
Well,
the need to obtain access to the best agricultural machinery and at the keenest
prices is going to be an on-going key factor in the success of Australian
farming. While we can’t jet around the
world engaging in trade negotiations, we can at least play our part in
delivering solid solutions and at sensible prices.
We
know that, in spite of a lot of recent good news, times continue to be
demanding for many people in farming communities and that’s why we’ve put
together a range of cost-effective options to help.
Why
not give us a call to see how we might be able to help you upgrade your farming
machinery without breaking your bank?
